Tow Truck/Rollback/Hauler Pics

[special-K]

That's a slick little hook 'em up. Cheyenne Super to boot! I still have one more pair of rear wheels like that. Is that a 20 or 30? My wheels came off a C/30 cab & chassis single wheel.

[KrazyRay]

This one is a 20 and it has trailing arms. The rear wheels are 9.75 or 10, but I don't think they are stock Chevy wheels because they look different than the other ones I had. The PO used this truck up until a few months ago to haul in all of his junk cars to the scrap yard. He didn't know what he had as he sold this for what he would have gotten in scrap.

[Biscayne Stocker]

Here's mine. Its all torn apart now. Taking the cab off the frame etc. Im putting in a 427 tall deck, Allison automatic, and factory A/C

[special-K]

That's going to be one sweet rollback.

I am pretty sure I added this one years ago, but the truck is still in the same location so I got a better quality pic of it

[haminator]

That one belongs in my yard.

[BBcj8]

Does this count? It is what we use to haul stuff my Dads 68 with his 52 willys.

Hey all,

I posted in this thread a while ago saying how I wanted one of these Car Haulers, well this one just came up for sale in my area (Southern California). I havent seen it in person yet, still waiting for a response with a time from seller. He said he doesnt know the engine or trans information so all I have is the picture. So what do you guys think this might be worth? Says it runs and drives and it is currently registered. When I gather more information I will share. Thanks in advance.

Took Towmater to the Charleston Car Show Saturday. Got second place in special interest class, I am not going to how many entries in the class. Had a great time. Kids loved the truck. I had one run up to it and told his mother that is the "Real Towmater"!

Hey that's a cool towmater. I seen a truck here in So Cal that guy made big eyes for the windshield, like a sunshade, to mimic towmaters eyes. It was cool, you should add that for the full effect. Ha-ha

I guess I could give a range on value,but why don't you tell us what he's asking and we'll tell you if it's worth it.

That's cool! That's exactly what I want to do with mine. I need to get it registered. I want to roll into cruise nights with all the bought muscle cars and turn some heads. I figure appropriate attire would be my greasy Big Ben overalls and welder's cap (with bill turned up,of course)

I was close to that Tim, woreout Key overalls, sweat stained John Deere hat and a very worn Fire Dept shirt.

Tim, yeah I was thinking not to taint the opinion pool with the asking price. Ha-ha they are asking $3,500.

In my opinion that might be a little steep......buuut it looks straight and rust free. If it has A/C, maybe a big block or at least a 327 even better. It may not really be that far off, seems like I'm usually a little behind the times. I think I gave 2200 for mine and I think that was too much but I just had to have it. Bueaty is in the eye of the beholder so if you like it, want it and can swing it get it. You may wish you did later. I like it.

Yeah I was thinking a little steep too. A lot depends on engine, trans, tire,rust etc. Why do you say 327 even better?

Oh I just meant 327 as in more original. Instead of it having a 350. So really a 396 or 327. Nothing wrong with a 350, I just think a 327 is better. It doesnt look like it has 396 badges. I guess the main thing is that it runs good, engine size should probably be secondary.

OK gotcha. I don't think it should have 396 badges though, right? I have another 68 with factory 396 and it doesn't have any stinking badges.... ha-ha
